A good beginning for you, Westie, more than can be said for me with the date blunders! At the time of writing the page out I couldn't make my mind up which Thursday would be best. Bless you for telling me. A shiny well-deserved gold star is yours. :staradmin Also, another for a very thorough welcome earlier, thanks so much. :staradmin BTW. Did your MOT go ok?

YAY

My eagle eyes missed this my first :staradmin for the new challenge, oh wait I get 2...:staradmin:staradmin

yes my car passed its MOT, and now waiting for my new one to arrive in the country, its been made and is currently being shipped

Happy Westie :-)

Evening all and a warm welcome to the new peoples and returners :hello:

I have put the odd £ 7.48 back in the pot and added a £10 to start off the new challenge :j

Soo pleased I made my target, as that's our holiday paid for March next year


Sue - please can you add £1200 target for me again for this year. I will have to push to get there but great if I do.


Hope you all have a super Saturday
Lx

PS - love the purple buttons sprouting up everywhere today :rotfl:

Your Target is updated too, Lynne. I noticed your last year's Target was to pay for the holiday so chuffed for you that that's sorted out. As Lynsey would say "you get your holiday free." Bless her, I do hope she will soon be back. I guess the purple buttons are a new thing; I wondered what the devil it was on mine early yesterday AM, the vision was blurred as twas!

Happy new potting everyone

...you and me both, stormpassing! I'm surviving...I think! :undecided Your target is updated too, all the best with reaching it!!

I've sorted all the dates, thanks Westie, but I think I'll leave jakes-mum's paragraph as it is for now and see how I'm thinking when it's not so busy. Many thanks for all your help though, most grateful.

Good to hear about both cars, lovely eh!!!

Have a goodnight, everyone, and a wonderful, if wet, weekend!! :dance:

Thank you Sue, count me in again this year and thanks for not deleting me from the list after my dismal year.
I promise to try harder this year and am starting off with a nice golden £1 coin.

Well done to everyone for some amazing total.

I would like to save at least £1000 for 2016. Not sure how to achieve that. I don't want to set a target and feel stressed about it. We don't celebrate Christmas but December is still our most expensive month due to DD's birthday 3 days before Christmas.

This year I have watched my pennies like never before. Made a big dent on debts, small dents on the mortgage and paid no interest on any debt. Thanks to the MSE members and their tips and tricks my family have still managed to live a comfortable life at the same time sorting out our finances. Even saving seems fun. I never been so dedicated to penny savings before. But it makes so much of a difference. Anyway I am aiming higher for next year so please keep the encouragement going. It feels like a commitment, but in a good way. Thanks to all and good luck potting in SPC 9.

Good Luck Baby Angel, with this years challenge,

I understand your predicament with you DD birthday as mine is 2 days after christmas, so I hear the groans each year when people not only struggle with christmas present ideas for me but then add the birthday it as well...

I do enjoy it as I do end up with some pennies to treat myself in the January sales, although I do moan I have to wait all year to celebrate, to which my patents remind me, it was my fault i came out nearly four months early I could have had a nice easter birthday instead....

Hi all

It was my first effort last year and really helped me. I now have a small emergency fund saved from a few ££ here and a few coins there.

Put me down or a £1500 target please. Here we go...!
